Vroom Vroom Casual Diehard

Addy and Jesse went to Dover for Casual Diehard’s first live race coverage, and return to discuss it with Britt and Katie. You’ll hear from drivers Ryan Ellis and Parker Retzlaff from the NASCAR Xfinity Series, as well as ARCA drivers Toni Breidinger, Lavar Scott, Zachary Tinkle, and Connor Zilisch. We’re also looking forward to the F1 race at Miami, and not looking past Denny Hamlin’s third win of the NASCAR Cup Series season, and the continued development of the heel persona for one of the greats who still has a big hole in his resume.

Formula 1 returned to China for the first time in five years, and despite absolutely no drama in Max Verstappen winning, he's running a different race than everyone else, and everyone else has plenty of drama -- to the delight of Addy, Jesse, and Katie in this episode. Charles Leclerc is driving his ass off for P4s, Daniel Ricciardo is driving for his job, and Lando Norris is driving everyone wild with his champagne popping skills. We're all still not quite at bingo on our preseason cards, if only someone would finish 10th. Maybe Lance Stroll? No, he's gone full heel. Meanwhile, in NASCAR, the Toyota teams find power in a union? Addy and Jesse get ready to stir the pot on their trip to Dover, and maybe an old NASCAR rule could benefit F1?

The "win or bin" concept is not our own, but Addy, Jesse, and Katie do find some similarity between their faves here, whether it's at Ferrari, in NASCAR, or on the baseball diamond. On a between-races episode in the F1 season, there's plenty of room to speculate about silly season ahead, and lots of fun scenarios to imagine as we get ready for the first Chinese Grand Prix since 2019 -- a rare race on the calendar that's never been won by Max Verstappen.

After a snooze of a racing weekend between F1 at Suzuka and NASCAR at Martinsville, Addy, Britt, and Jesse are tackling big questions, like whether Max Verstappen or Mike Trout is a more interesting person, what's going on with Lance Stroll's hair, and whether Charles Leclerc would get designer glasses made for viewing a solar eclipse. Oh, and does Williams have enough cars to actually make it through the season?

Addy, Britt, and Jesse spent the week between F1 races diving into the start of baseball season, which has gone for the Mets about the way we usually expect things to go for Ferrari. But remember how the last F1 race was won by... Ferrari? Wild. Ferrari won the last F1 race. That is a thing that happened. This is a mixed racing/baseball episode, as we've got NASCAR highlights from Richmond to discuss. Addy also wrote about the Mets to go with this episode, you can find that on our website.

Addy, Britt, Jesse, and Katie are over the moon after the Australian Grand Prix and the rare occasion of not only a race not dominated by Max Verstappen, but won by Carlos Sainz in his Ferrari, two weeks after his appendectomy and a few months before he cedes the Scuderia seat to Lewis Hamilton… who was one spot ahead of Verstappen in the running order as Mercedes’ disaster start to the season reached a nadir. We’re glad George Russell is okay after his crash, amused by Lando Norris flipping off a fan, and wondering what Charles Leclerc has to do to get a win for the first time in almost two years. Some stuff does stay the same even when there’s a Max DNF, after all. There's also plenty of drama through F1's midfield (we'll use that term generously) and not so much this week in NASCAR from Circuit of the Americas, which is fine because the European boys delivered so much for us in Australia, and the stock cars are going back home to short tracks fort he next couple of weeks.
